Strikingly Detailed Steampunk Owl Illustration By Doodle Artist Kerby Rosanes

Philippines-based illustrator Kerby Rosanes uses traditional black pen to create marvelously intricate, whimsical and heavily patterned drawings. Rosanes’ artworks are made in a gorgeous mosaic principle, where thousands of separate details and characters join together in a massive composition, just like the cells in a living organism.

The 23-year-old artist considered these doodles to be just a hobby until his talent was noticed and acknowledged by design and art blogs, international magazines and online communities, giving him opportunities to turn his passion into a freelance job.

Here’s Rosanes’ new drawing, called “Time Guardian”, inspired by Steampunk aesthetics.
